Gemini drops the big one....

[Yao]

The reviews I've read are without exception extremely positive on them: the only setback is they don't come with dustcovers.

Torque is higher, faster start-stop speed, good cables (best among OEM decks), very stable when correcting on the platter, less whim than the techs.
I think it was originally developed for Numark, but they didn't want them for some reason. Dumbasses.

Sounds good enough IMO, especially for that price...?739,- a pair, the techs cost me ?569,- each...And even when I can get two MKII's for ?950,- (which is the case - connections) I'd still be tempted to opt for the Acura's.

Yes, gemini are crap ands personally I don't think this idea will catch on for little while yet. I kinda curious how they sound and if the cd player is actually that reliable with all the analog stiff in there. Great concept but I don't think it will catch on tell well in the dj commnity though until one of the big boys put out something like this.

Good value for the price? are they available in the U.S.?

Dunno...you'll have to do a little Googling I guess...

totally agree , CRAP!! but i bet the big one (technics) will come out with something like this and will be the new standard .. hopefully , or probably we can see a technics / pioneer fusion ,
well we all can dream ,

I think the folks at Technics are still licking their wounds after coming out with that terrible CD deck...

Too bad most of their stuff is crap.

exactly!

Okay peepz I get the point: my decks are the shittiest of the shittiest, I know!! Do I have to sacrifice a goat and spill it's blood all over [ms] to repent on that purchase? It has been more than 3 years ago I made that mistake FFS!

















I know ya'll aint bashing at me...but I kinda have gotten to appreciate my baby's.

[Steve Graham]

, that is crap

[Yao]

Well....at least they make circles instead of squares...

[Yao]

Too bad most of their stuff is crap.

I agree!

Take note that with a little adjustment on the tone-arm the Gemini PDT-6000 is by most people considered to be at least as good as the Techs. Read my review on my OEM-TT's in the mercurypromote forum: I still back that up 100%...

Re: Gemini drops the big one....

This is a great idea, however, from a human factors standpoint, this may be bad. I can only imagine now, espescially if you have a vinyl record sitting on top of the table, how many times people will fuck up by mixing in the wrong track because of the confusion of switching from cd to vinyl on one station. I mean this sounds great and all, but the integration might be too much. I opt to keep actual vinyl tt's and cdj's seperate from each other.

Re: Gemini drops the big one....

good idea I like it. obvious when you think about it

[Watcher2k]

Gemini has copyright on it.. doubt any other company will come out with something like it for a long while...

But i can be wrong.


and it actually is pretty nice spinning with.

[Jibgolly]

looks like another sad attempt at keeping up with the rest of the dj equipment world.
in my experience, anything made by gemini is crap.

Re: Gemini drops the big one....

I don't know why one would want to use this when products like final scratch exist. (lets you play MP3's using your exisiting tables through two "blank" records). If you are going to burn a CD with tracks on it, why not just play the MP3s?
